Dennis Prager: The Right Wing Ashkenazi Jew as Episcopalian Christian
I recently wrote an article on the relationship between Trumpworld Fascism and Modern Orthodox Judaism:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/davidshasha/_0illkvhVco
There I discussed Rabbi Zev Eleff’s very revealing Lehrhaus article “The Modern Orthodox Vote and the Episcopalian Turn”:
With this “Episcopalian Turn” in mind, I watched a Dennis Prager lecture presented on C-Span’s Book TV that was recorded at the Rancho Mirage Writers Conference in California:
https://www.c-span.org/video/?420527-2/dennis-prager-happiness-goodness
At the same conference Prager also participated in a panel discussion attacking BDS as the new Blood Libel with The Wall Street Journal’s Bret Stephens, two veritable Neo-Con Jewish peas in a pod:
I have presented the bombastic Right Wing extremism of Prager on a number of occasions:

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/davidshasha/prager/davidshasha/bWj-vTwhAPM/xUvg1NOHxLgJ
More recently Prager has figured in the ongoing problem of Jewish supporters of Trumpworld Fascism:
In my discussion I cite the following article from The Atlantic which reviews Prager’s hypocrisies as a Trumpworld apologist:
The vaunted Prager religious “morality” got thrown out the window the moment he began to support Trump’s twisted nihilism.
What is deeply fascinating about his Rancho Mirage talk “Happiness as a Serious Problem” is just how clearly it makes the case for the transition of many Jewish Conservatives into the welcoming arms of Christian Fundamentalism.
As explained by Eleff in his triumphant article on the Trump electoral victory, many Orthodox Jews have indeed turned into Episcopalians.
Prager’s talk on Happiness was a perfect fusion of Dale Carnegie and Norman Vincent Peale.
In my aforementioned article “Three Ashkenazim against the Torah” I presented the rather complicated ways in which the new Right-Wing Interfaith alliance has set out to undermine and even erase the classical Jewish religious-intellectual heritage.
Our central religious texts, rooted in the Prophets and the Rabbis, are firmly predicated on the values of Justice and Wisdom.
Prager, freely deploying the “feel-good” behaviorism that is central to what has become known as the “Gospel of Prosperity,” sees Happiness, not Justice or Wisdom, as the primary human value.
It is of course fascinating to contrast Prager’s fierce support for Trumpworld Fascism and for the deeply Anti-Jewish values of Evangelical Christianity, both of which are connected to a very flawed understanding of Jewish Nationalism rooted in Christian Biblical literalism and its messianic eschatology, and his relentlessly aggressive articulation of “Good Moods” and cheerfulness in the face of adversity.
As we could see from the largely positive response from the affluent and apparently Conservative suburban California audience at the Rancho Mirage lecture, his message is one that resonates with many Americans.
Prager, like his many Christian counterparts, values behavioral norms over ethical values.
Biblical and Talmudic personalities were not distinguished by their “Good Moods” or their sunny disposition; in point of fact, the Prophetic figures, as so eloquently discussed by Abraham Joshua Heschel in his classic book The Prophets, were fanatical truth-seekers and utopian moralists – the very group that Prager roundly castigates.
The Jewish Sages proclaimed the end of the Prophetic era after the Romans destroyed the Jerusalem Temple in 70 CE, and put in its place a concept of Wisdom that would eventually be yoked to the Humanistic curriculum by Arab Jewish rabbis like Se’adya Ga’on, Bahye ibn Paquda, and Maimonides in the early Middle Ages.
It was this evolutionary tradition that formed the Jewish Humanism that has become central to the Sephardic heritage.
Prager, as we see from his Neo-Con political radicalism, comes from the world of the Eastern European Shtetl which was animated by bitter feelings of persecution and rage. His reactionary politics are not in the least that of the “Good Mood” variety, which makes his embrace of Peale’s sunny optimism that much more ironic and paradoxical.
But, as he reminded us repeatedly in the talk, his lectures on Happiness have proven to be a cash bonanza; garnering national attention and a good deal of commercial interest from various media outlets and publishing houses.
As we learned from Dale Carnegie, it is all about “How to Win Friends and Influence People,” rather than preserving moral integrity and rectitude. It is expediency over dignity, pragmatism rather than honor, personal gain besting righteousness.
Given the long and complex history of Judaic knowledge, it is hard to categorize figures as disparate as Judah Halevi, Solomon ibn Verga, Grace Aguilar, Franz Kafka, Sigmund Freud, and Primo Levi as either “happy” or “depressive.” It goes way beyond such facile identifications.
It is, I suppose, theoretically possible to apply these categories to such intellectual luminaries, but is in the end not very helpful if we are to properly understand and process the Jewish heritage and its strong roots in the words of the Prophets and the Talmudic Sages.
Prager has not only adopted a political point of view from the Christian Evangelicals, but taken the “Good News” of the Christian Gospels which values Salvation above all else, and applied it to what he mistakenly believes to be an orthodox Jewish approach.
In this transformation of the traditional Jewish values we move from creative hermeneutics and the insights afforded by the Wisdom of reading texts, to the manifestation of a dogmatic behaviorism that is fixated on cheerfulness and a sunny disposition rather than on the relentless pursuit of Truth and Justice under the rubric of the Law.
It is little wonder in this regard that the victory of the dark forces of Trumpworld, where reality is of no consequence, and where every behavioral action is blissfully oblivious to the most basic elements of the human condition and its many complexities, has engendered in Episcopalian Jews like Prager and Eleff a euphoria that has cemented the ties between Right Wing Ashkenazi Judaism, Evangelical Christianity, and the dark forces of the New Fascism.
As Prager says, Jews must now reject the values of Intellectualism which have always been our identifying character trait, and embrace the Gospel of “Happiness” as a way of life.
In this manner, Orthodox Jews can more easily assimilate into Evangelical Christianity and in the process unite under the rubric of an eschatological messianism where Zionism and the second coming of Jesus Christ are one and the same proposition.
Contrary to Prager’s Episcopalian ideality, being “Happy” does not necessarily mean that one is Good. We can see that Trump and many of his supporters are quite happy, though they are quite delusional and quite nihilistic. In point of fact, their “Happiness” is cause for our Depression.
Rather than seeing God as representing Justice and Mercy, the New Fascists seek personal human fulfillment, along the lines of Christian Salvation history; a history that has left many persecuted and maimed in its wake.
The fabled Christian Caritas has often been used as a weapon against those who refuse to accept their “Good News” and its relentlessly sunny optimism.
So it is indeed eminently possible to be Happy, and still be able to victimize and persecute others.
Service with a smile indeed!
But, as Judaism has always taught, it is only in the preservation of the Law and its dogged insistence upon Justice, Equality, and Fairness that we can truly express all that we are as human beings.
Happiness is not the ultimate metric for the Jewish people and must never be used as a barometer of our humanity.

Dennis Prager and James Robison: Finding Alt-Right Christian “Safe Spaces” in Trumpworld
I have a very bad habit as I watch television, especially in the early morning, to seek out Christian Fundamentalist programs on the local channels.
These days it is usually checking in with Pauline antinomian Anti-Semites like Jimmy Swaggart and Les Feldick.
Faith without Works is very much in vogue in these lawless times of Trump and the New Fascism:
https://reasonabletheology.org/apostle-paul-impact-salvation-faith-alone/
It is a doctrine that negates the Mosaic Covenant and Jewish Law, supplanting it with a new Salvation doctrine centered on belief in the absolute divinity of Jesus Christ:
Scripture teaches that we are justified by faith alone. The writings of Paul show the practical implications that this doctrine has on how we are to live the Christian life. Knowing that we did not earn our own salvation makes us humble rather than spiritually prideful, which causes us to act lovingly towards believers and unbelievers alike.
It is important to keep this exclusive Christian doctrine of Faith Without Works in mind as we navigate the current socio-political scene.
I was recently flipping through the channels and landed on James Robison’s “Life Today” program, and who did I see there – our dear friend Dennis Prager, who I have called the new CEO of Jews for Jesus:
https://www.tbn.org/programs/life-today-james-robison/watch/dennis-prager-no-safe-spaces
His appearance with Robison fully bears my assertion out.
Prager is one of the Trumpscum Jews who take great pride in their “conversion” to the New Christian Fascism:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/Davidshasha/prager/davidshasha/5I7YJ1iYSMU/UKPPNA-SDwAJ
The following article from David Suissa’s Jewish Journal of Los Angeles makes clear how deeply he admires the Christian Anti-Semites as he lays out a heartfelt apologia for their extremist values:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/Davidshasha/prager/davidshasha/l6JDfmTIJr4/BbHSZ98-qoUJ
We just marked the one-year anniversary of the Trumpdeath in Pittsburgh which helps to put all this into perspective:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/Davidshasha/mXzIzNyMmDo
It is worth recalling that, in the immediate aftermath of the Synagogue massacre, Prager was once again right there to defend Trump, the Evangelicals, and the Alt-Right:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/Davidshasha/prager/davidshasha/7yaQkPq5zDA/1beQJrI5BgAJ
Prager signed up with the Right Wing extremist publisher Regnery, which has given him an intimate connection with the world of the radical religious fanatics:
https://www.regnery.com/book-author/dennis-prager/
He has published two books of Biblical commentary, misleadingly called “The Rational Bible,” that, as he boasted on the Robison program, are currently being sold at Costco!
Looking at the audience it was clear just how much his Yiddish-inflected comedy shtick appealed to them.
The Robison appearance was to promote his new book and documentary “No Safe Spaces”:
https://www.foxnews.com/media/dennis-prager-documentary-no-safe-spaces
A clip from the movie proudly featured our friend Bill Maher, anti-PC scourge:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/Davidshasha/OAiKDUEMRUQ/uf6bnWH0DQAJ
Perhaps more pointedly, he highlighted Jordan Peterson, hero of the Right.
I mentioned Peterson in the following article on Jonathan Haidt that looks at the whole “Safe Space” college brouhaha:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/Davidshasha/beoLJaoDawA/hCVdyG9mCwAJ
While Prager has so very cunningly stoked the anti-PC flames, he and the Religious Right continue to mark their own “Safe Space” territory.
We have also seen how fellow Trumpscum Jew Rabbi Meir Soloveichik, proudly representing Tikvah Fund values, has teamed up with Christian radicals like Senator Mike Lee in a strategic Trumpist alliance:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/Davidshasha/Pil9L08j0UU/AexMyge7AAAJ
The Tikvah Fund representatives, like Prager, are allied to Trumpworld through institutions like the Hobby Lobby Bible Museum:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/Davidshasha/Ra16uogXog8/XAmc0RlgEQAJ
It is all part of what I have called the New Convivencia; a place where radical Neo-Con Jews can connect with their radical Christian peers in a very “Safe Space”:
As I have written, it is a frontal assault on the noble tradition of Sephardic Jewish Humanism.
Speaking to Robison, Prager heaped lavish praise on Donald Trump, and sort of gave the game away when he admitted that on election night 2016 he turned off his beloved FOX News and went exclusively to the “Liberal” cable news channels.
It was, he pithily said, to bask in Schadenfreude, as he wanted to see Suffering Liberals:
https://www.amazon.com/Trump-Liberals-Again-Funny-T-Shirt/dp/B07GCBDLV2
Indeed, there is now even a t-shirt for that very particular form of Schadenfreude!
Prager and the Trumpist Religious Right emphatically decry the “Safe Spaces” on college campuses, but neglect to admit that they too have their own “Safe Spaces” and their own security blankets to comfort them as they huddle closely together.
Of course, there is the FOX News echo-chamber, which is augmented by the Right Wing Talk Radio echo-chamber:
https://www.wbur.org/hereandnow/2019/10/02/conservative-talk-radio-book
More than this, the Radical Right makes use of their religious institutions to stifle Free Speech and curtail Civil Rights:
Indeed, it is currently all the rage to speak of Religious Liberty, as if there is some Stalinist government agency that is closing all the Churches.
Once again, we turn to Meir Soloveichik for the straight poop:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/Davidshasha/SvAkVwHpJUU/y50PJbkPBAAJ
The hypocrisy of the Christian zealots in the matter has been pointed out repeatedly:
“Religious Liberty” means the freedom of those zealots to persecute others and impose their own parochial values on the country.
What has now changed is the way that the Neo-Con Jewish extremists, in passionate love with Trump, have become one with the Christians; the same Supersessionist Christians who pretend to “love” the Jews for the sake of their Rapture:
https://www.thedailybeast.com/why-evangelicals-love-israel
Christians like Ultra-Zionist radical John Hagee:
The Jewish and Christian Trumplackeys all celebrated at the new Trump Embassy in Jerusalem:
It was thus not at all shocking to see Prager and Robison luxuriating in their common messianic values.
The Neo-Con Jews have long ago made their peace with Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and savior of the world:
There has even been an outpouring of books on the “Jewish Jesus,” including one from Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, yet another Trumpscum Jew:
While this love of Jesus is now common on the Neo-Con Jewish Right, it also exists in the world of academic Judaic Studies where Left Wingers like Daniel Boyarin are promoting their own form of the New Convivencia; seeking to elevate Christianity over Rabbinic Judaism:
Boyarin has also published a popular work on the subject entitled The Jewish Gospels: The Story of the Jewish Christ:
https://www.amazon.com/Jewish-Gospels-Story-Christ/dp/1595588787
His essay “Semantic Differences; or ‘Judaism’/’Christianity’” makes the point crystal clear:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RhtZpTp-oMoItjmoUNBe9K8G7dazVgPz/view?ths=true
The attack is unleashed with brevity and great hubris:
Judaism, I will argue (and so do many scholars today), is not the parent religion to Christianity; indeed, in some respects the opposite may be true. Nor can we speak of a religion, Judaism, at all in the sense of a bounded institution existing before the Christian era (and even fairly deep into that era), of which it could be said to be hostile to any one thing.
That is as straightforward an assertion of the point as we have seen in the scholarship, as it militantly subordinates Judaism to Christianity, and turns the Talmudic tradition into utter disarray, Hefker.
Monolingual Social Science doctrinal dogma has overtaken the pluralistic Open Text of Rabbinic Midrash, as I have discussed in my article on Rabbi SHAGAR and the fraud of Ashkenazi Post-Modernism:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/Davidshasha/de-xEWk9-XE
Along with that article I presented a comprehensive resource sheet on the traditional Rabbinical approach as it relates to Post-Modernism, which is quickly being obliterated by academic scholars and messianic Zionists alike:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/Davidshasha/c9R-YEtWsCA
Atavism now rules the roost, and the expansive Midrashic vision is being forcefully subordinated to static historical reconstructions of ancient theological doctrine.
As I have said before, we are now seeing the Left become Right as Trumpworld Fascism throws everything into confusion.
What has become all too clear is that Jewish thinkers have abdicated the basic truths of Judaism in favor of an apparently deep-seated need to curry favor with Christians.
While academics like Boyarin seek to whitewash Pauline antinomianism and attack the integrity of the Talmudic heritage as “belated,” Neo-Cons like Prager proudly seek common cause with Trumpworld Christian extremists like James Robison as they unite to promote lawlessness and the radical religious agenda which has been used by Trump as a smokescreen to hide his own personal corruption and degenerate profligacy.
Robison and Prager present to us the image of Useful Idiots who genuflect to Trump in a demonic union of pathological malfeasance and deeply anti-democratic corruption.
We have seen how Alan Dershowitz has very enthusiastically added his name to this illustrious list of deplorables:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/Davidshasha/xXvTbXnihcw
Dershowitz’s shyster PILPUL tactics reflect his own deep-seated commitment to Trumpworld, which was on full display when he appeared at the annual conference of the Steamboat Institute:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/Davidshasha/pKSuJsQd6Rc/JCeaG1xVBgAJ
Dershowitz and Prager were born into the same Brooklyn Orthodox Jewish world that they have since abandoned, but which continues to strongly figure into their reactionary worldview:
https://jewishjournal.com/cover_story/234139/dennis-prager-talks-interpreting-torah/
http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/264596
It is therefore not at all surprising that they both scream about Free Speech at the very same time that they are so deeply tied to political and religious institutions that deny others the right to speak out.
Prager bleats on about “Safe Spaces” at American colleges and universities, mocking young people for being weak and infantile, while at the same time finding his own securely “safe” niche in the comfy cozy Right Wing echo-chamber where dissent is not at all tolerated:
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/28/opinion/trump-human-scum-tweet.html
New York Times columnist Michelle Goldberg has written an excellent defense of the few Republican “heretics” who have had the temerity to criticize Trump.
She notes that even their mild criticism should be admired, given how difficult it is to speak freely in Trumpworld:
In recent days, as Senator Mitt Romney of Utah has staked out a lonely role as Trump’s most prominent Republican critic, many progressives have rolled their eyes. He’s been widely mocked for the once-secret Twitter account he kept under the pseudonym Pierre Delecto, which he used to like anti-Trump tweets that he’d probably never endorse publicly. Democrats, said a recent NBC News report, “tend to dismiss Romney as ineffectual because he has stopped short of calling for Trump’s impeachment and removal from office.”
Former Senator Jeff Flake of Arizona, who gave up his political career to speak out against Trump, was similarly dismissed. Even ex-Republicans who do call for Trump’s impeachment and removal are regularly pilloried on the left.
I agree with progressives who argue that Trump is the apotheosis of the modern Republican Party, not a departure from it. Everyone who helped build that party bears some responsibility for him. But apostate conservatives also deserve admiration for the sacrifices they’re making. It must be painful to have the movement that’s defined your life turn against you.
From the perspective of “Human Scum” like Romney and Flake, the place that Trumptoadies like Prager now occupy represents the Right Wing equivalent of the very “Safe Spaces” on college campuses that he so shrilly decries.
More than this, though the “Safe Space” phenomena reflects an essential weakness and the insufferable elitist privilege of pampered students, the idea that we need to reject hatred and bigotry and promote tolerance and equity in a world that has become prey to lawlessness in the form of racism and intolerance is one that is surely laudable.
Jews once stood on the side of Civil Liberties and Social Justice, as those deeply-held American values helped us integrate into the larger society while maintaining our own religious beliefs and practices.
The tyranny of the Christian majority was seen as a threat to our freedom as Jews and as Americans.
The Separation of Church and State was promised in the Constitution’s First Amendment:
Sephardic Jews take pride in this illustrious history of Religious Liberty, as Moses Seixas of Rhode Island, in his famous letter to George Washington, sought to make certain that such freedom would never be infringed:
https://www.tourosynagogue.org/history-learning/gw-letter
Now we see how Jews like Prager are allied with Christians like Robison to take that freedom away by imposing the values of Christian Theocracy on the country.
Religious bigotry is now running rampant as Trump gets to appoint Federalist Society judges that will toe the Fundamentalist Christian line:
https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-secrets-of-leonard-leo-the-man-behind-trumps-supreme-court-pick
For those of us who refuse to toe that hateful religious line, we are all too well aware of what it means to be silenced for our beliefs. More than this, we intimately know how the Radical Trump Right has created its own “Safe Spaces” where we are emphatically not welcome.
Dennis Prager has sold his soul and our Torah in a Faustian pact that has become exemplary of the New Convivencia and of those traitorous Jews who have embraced Trumpworld Fascism and its debased lawlessness.

Dennis Prager on “Real Time with Bill Maher”: Jewish Apostate, Christian Apologist, Trumpscum Stooge
The previous article discussed Dennis Prager’s appearance in the “Safe Space” of radical Evangelical Christian Trumplackey and proud Anti-Semite James Robison.
Robison insists that we must all turn to Jesus Christ for salvation!
https://lifetoday.org/connect/words-of-life/for-freedoms-sake/
Shortly after posting the Prager-Robison article I received an e-mail from Prager that confirmed his close ties to the Evangelical Christian world.
This was the subject title of the e-mail:
Celebrate Christmas with a Brand New Perspective
The new CEO of Jews for Jesus, a prominent Trumpscum Jewish apostate, keeps on cranking out the hits:
https://www.inspirationcruises.com/salemisrael
“Stand With Israel”!
Stand With Jesus Christ!
The end is nigh.
It is an excellent example of the New Convivencia that Prager is so proud to participate in.
Seriously, how great is Prager?
He is a regular Jeronimo de Santa Fe!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ger%C3%B3nimo_de_Santa_Fe
But that Holy Land Christmas tidbit was nothing compared to his epic appearance on “Real Time with Bill Maher”:
https://www.hbo.com/real-time-with-bill-maher/2019/33-episode-513
When looking up the weblink to the program I noticed that Prager made news in the “Overtime” segment of the show which is posted on-line but not broadcast on HBO:
“America is not racist” is an interesting assertion coming from a Trumpist whose aim is to justify anything and everything the Orange Pig and his supporters do and say.
Ignoring Trumpworld Alt-Right Anti-Semitism is truly beyond the pale, but Prager continues to do it, as we so very clearly saw in the case of Pittsburgh Trumpdeath:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/Davidshasha/prager/davidshasha/7yaQkPq5zDA/1beQJrI5BgAJ
In his appearance on the Maher program Prager unsurprisingly denied all Trump malfeasance.
Though he does not at all like the “vulgarity”; which he naturally characterized as “hyperbole,” in order to fully dismiss it.
He dutifully repeated all the usual FOX News White House talking points as he has done in the past.
No RUSSHER COLLOOSION:

John Brennan is a Communist:

And of course, in true Putin fashion, more Hillary Clinton server smokescreens:
https://www.creators.com/read/dennis-prager/08/16/on-hillary-clinton-as-a-model-for-young-girls
It was a bravura Prager performance that showed us what PILPUL is like when practiced by a true expert. The idea is to start out with a fixed point, here “Trump is always innocent,” and then to flail about wildly as you ignore the evidence and promote half-truths and outright lies in the most obnoxious manner possible. You must smirk as often as possible, and, for good measure, do a very demonic laugh as you roll your eyes.
Anything for my Godfather, as Johnny Fontaine knew so well:
https://www.coursehero.com/lit/The-Godfather/book-7-chapter-27-summary/
Prager certainly earns his ample salary from the Christian Right as the new Jews for Jesus CEO.
But I think the most important fact we learned about Prager is that he is a proud Sabbath violator.
Prager has presented himself as a “proud Jew” in his project to restore religious chauvinism to America:
He is the new RASHI!
The “proud Jew” is in fact a proud violator of the Sabbath, as the Maher HBO program is broadcast live on Friday nights at 10:00 PM Eastern time. That means the show starts at 7:00 PM in its Los Angeles home.
Sunset there on November 1st was 6:00 PM, so Prager was publicly violating the holy day.
But that is something that we should expect from the new Jeronimo de Santa Fe.
Paul would be so proud!
Prager’s shrill neo-Christian tone is part of the New Fascism that he emphatically denies:
https://www.thedailybeast.com/bill-mahers-show-has-gone-completely-off-the-rails
Maher stumbled as Prager baited him on the question of Trump’s Fascism. Rather than go all in on the myriad ways that Trump and his criminal cabal have violated democratic norms on their inexorable march toward authoritarian rule, Maher wimped out and said that Trump only “wants” to be a Fascist, as if he is playing Hitler dress-up.
Here is where the insidious PILPUL works to undermine clear thinking: Rather than denying the Reductio ad Absurdum – that America is Nazi Germany – Maher should have pointed to the actual ways in which Trump has embraced lawlessness in his dictatorial presidency and how his Republican lackeys have continued to back him at every turn.
Of course, we still have our Constitution and democratic institutions, but Trump is acting as if he is above them. It is toadies like Prager who enable this debased nihilism.
Even more telling in this regard was when Maher confronted Prager on the matter of whether Trump would voluntarily leave office if he lost the 2020 election.
Not hesitating, as is the mark of an expert liar, Prager insisted that Conservatives would never allow such a thing to happen. As he said this it became eminently clear that he was utterly delusional when it came to the relationship between Trump and his supporters. As Maher correctly pointed out, the Republican Trumptoadies have so far been unable or unwilling to challenge their Duce on anything.
Whatever Trump says goes.
Prager is a very slick snake oil salesman who has crossed over to the side of our Christian persecutors, and has proudly shown himself to be a full-fledged Jewish apostate.
Now it is none of my business whether individual Jews keep the Sabbath as prescribed by our Law, but in the case of Dennis Prager, the man who makes a big show of his religious bona fides as he excoriates others for not showing the proper respect for religion, the matter takes on some urgency:
https://www.dennisprager.com/how-the-left-keeps-me-religious/
For Prager religion is the enemy of Liberalism, and he does not miss a chance to make the point that the Left is the enemy of civilization:
https://www.dennisprager.com/keeping-the-northeastern-primary-in-perspective/
While it is always possible to profitably discuss differing ideas in the context of civilization, Prager is a bully always looking of a street-fight, while at the time he publicly violates basic Jewish principles and ethical norms.
We must now allow a Sabbath violator to dictate to us what Judaism is.
American Liberalism has conferred many advantages on the Jewish people, advantages that Prager’s relentless attacks on the Left has put in jeopardy. His blind love of Trump has brought him into a demonic union of extremist agitators who have no loyalty to America, as they have no moral compass in their subservience to a criminal regime.
It was good to see just how much of Jewish hypocrite Prager is, as he places fidelity to Trump over fidelity to God.

The PragerU Neo-Con High School Indoctrination Takedown: The New Jews for Jesus Director Has the Trump Hypocritical Whine Down Cold
Trumpscum Jews for Jesus Prager wants us to know that he is very upset:
https://dennisprager.com/column/what-happened-when-a-high-school-offered-a-prageru-video/
He wants us to know that the PragerU propaganda videos which were at first assigned as extra credit for 10th grade students were ultimately rejected by a school in Ohio.
He wants us to know that he is very upset because his brand of radical hate and disinformation was called out by a report from The Huffington Post:
https://www.huffpost.com/entry/right-wing-videos-public-schools-prageru_n_5f889a29c5b6e9e76fbb6db8
Which has the thing right:
The PragerU videos — with titles such as “Build the Wall,” “Why the Right Was Right” and “The Left Ruins Everything” — were assigned to a 10th-grade history class at Maumee High School, along with a series of questions about the videos’ “most important messages.”
The assignment came at the same time that the website has tried to gain further influence in K-12 classrooms. Earlier this month, the organization launched a program directly aimed at parents and educators, complete with study guides with sections such as “Conservatives Are the Real Environmentalists” and “The Ferguson Lie,” based on a HuffPost review of the materials.
Andrea Cutway, the mother of 16-year-old student Avery Lewis, brought the assignment to the attention of Maumee City Schools administrators and immediately pulled her daughter out of the class. Maumee is about 10 miles southwest of Toledo.
It is interesting to hear Prager whine on this subject, because he has attacked schools for being “Leftist Indoctrination Camps,” when he in fact wants to make them “Rightist Indoctrination Camps” in his inimitable Stalinist manner:
https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1726149700888312

Dr. Stephen Marmer, psychiatrist and clinical faculty at UCLA Medical School.

I spent a good deal of time looking up each name listed and have provided a link to show that they are all Right Wing apparatchiks of varying professional competence.
The only one without the Neo-Con bona fides is Dr. Marmer, who appears to be a favorite of the Right Wing Jewish crowd for his “Psychology of Repentance”:

Other than Marmer, the list is replete with miscreants of the hard-core Right Wing variety, though, as Prager correctly notes, a small number of them – very small – are avowed Never Trumpers.
On the same day that his PragerU whine was posted, he sent out this prime piece of Lysol on Mail-In ballots:

What we see is not only the pusillanimous bully whining about purportedly being bullied, a Trump specialty, but a very important admission that Prager is all about Indoctrinating young students by inundating them with pseudo-objective ideas which are with few exceptions rooted in radical Right Wing political values.
It is all about bias and prejudice with a faux academic patina.
It is the New Stalinism which is closely tied, as we have repeatedly seen, to the New Convivencia:

Prager is a deranged fanatic of the wingnut variety, and his arrogance is another attempt by Neo-Con Trumpscum Jews to impose their corrupt values on the rest of us.
